Welcome to the MU10
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Yamaha MU10
Tone Generator!
The MU10 is a sophisticated, yet highly compact MIDI tone
generator, specially designed for use with computers and MIDI music
systems.
With the built-in host computer interface and MIDI terminals,
the MU10 is ideal for any computer music system — from connection
to a simple laptop to integration in a complete MIDI studio. The host
computer interface is especially convenient, allowing you to directly
connect it to your computer without the need for a special MIDI
interface.
Featuring Yamaha’s high quality AWM2 tone generation technol-
ogy, the MU10 has 676 Normal Voices and 21 Drum Voices (percus-
sion sets), with full General MIDI compatibility — including
Yamaha’s new XG-MIDI. It provides 16-Part multi-timbral capac-
ity and full 32-note polyphony for playback of even the most sophis-
ticated song data. Three independent digital effect sections — with
11 types of Reverb, 11 types of Chorus, and 43 different Variation
effects — can be used simultaneously and give you enormous versatility in “sweetening” the sound. Plus, the MU10 has two convenient A/
D INPUT jacks, allowing you to connect external audio sources
(such as a microphone, guitar, or CD player), and mix those sources
with the AWM2 Voices of the MU10.
Because of all the above, as well as its exceptionally portable size
and convenient battery/AC adaptor power supply, the MU10 is an
invaluable tool for all MIDI musicians and performers.

Precautions
Your MU10 will give you years of reliable service if you follow the simple rules given
below:
■ LOCATION
Do not expose the instrument to the following conditions to avoid deformation, discoloration, or more serious damage.
• Direct sunlight (e.g. near a window).
• High temperatures (e.g. near a heat source, outside, or in a car during
the daytime).
• Excessive humidity.
• Excessive dust.
• Strong vibration.
■ POWER SUPPLY
Turn the power switch OFF when the instrument is not in use.
This instrument runs from either an optional AC adaptor or batteries:
(When using AC adaptor) Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-3B, PA-1207 or equivalent AC Power Adaptor to power your instrument from the AC mains. The
use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor
and the instrument.
An AC adaptor should be unplugged from the AC outlet if the instrument is
not to be used for an extended period of time.
Unplug the AC adaptor during electric storms.
Avoid plugging the AC adaptor into the same AC outlet as appliances with
high power consumption, such as electric heaters or ovens. Also avoid using
multi-plug adaptors since these can result in reduced sound quality, operation
errors, and possibly damage.
Always unplug cables by gripping the plug firmly, not by pulling on the AC
adaptor cable.
(When using batteries) When the batteries run down, replace them with a
complete set of new batteries. NEVER mix old and new batteries, and
different kind (e.g. alkaline and manganese) at the same time.
To prevent possible damage due to battery leakage, remove the batteries from
the instrument if it is not to be used for an extended period of time.

Precautions
■ TURN POWER OFF WHEN MAKING CONNECTIONS
To avoid damage to the instrument and other devices to which it is connected, turn the power switches of all related devices OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting.
■ HANDLING AND TRANSPORT
Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors or other parts of the
instrument.
Disconnect all cables before moving the instrument.
Physical shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or placing heavy objects on
the instrument can result in scratches and more serious damage.
■ CLEANING
Clean the cabinet and panel with a dry soft cloth.
A slightly damp cloth may be used to remove stubborn grime and dirt.
Never use solvents such as alcohol or thinner.
Avoid placing vinyl objects on top of the instrument (vinyl can stick to and
discolor the surface).
■ ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE
This instrument contains digital circuitry and may cause interference if
placed too close to radio or television receivers. If this occurs, move the
instrument further away from the affected equipment.
■ SERVICE AND MODIFICATION
The instrument contains no user serviceable parts. Opening it or tampering
with it in anyway can lead to irreparable damage and possibly electric shock.
Refer all servicing to qualified YAMAHA service personnel.
Yamaha is not responsible for damage caused by improper handling or operation.
